Note that the comment makes traffic analysis much easier. Sure, you can send your mail through five different remailers, but if each layer of PGP has your home page URL or some other distinctive Comment:, it's traceable.
OTOH, a signature has your distinctive key-id anyway. - "'Anonymity is bad,' says a source who wishes to remain anonymous." - Nuff' said. * Home: Chris Adams <adamsc@io-online.com> | http://www.io-online.com/adamsc/adamsc.htp * Autoresponder: send email w/subject of "send resume" or "send PGPKEY" * Work: cadams@acucobol.com | V.M.
